New on-line training platform

A new on-line training has been set up to provide remote courses for workers in the tourism sector.

The 24-hour channel offers workshops of different lengths on a range of subjects. The platform offers content requested by the sector such as: Wordpress for restaurants, campsites and rural tourism accommodation; a course on using Facebook to generate business; and 20 ideas for raising your hotel's social media profile. More content will be added in 2015. The Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board develops new training activities in order to foster the continuous education of people working in the sector and to help to make Girona's tourism industry more competitive. During the five years the Board has been running the Turisme 360º Training Programme, it has organised 4 training seminars and 43 workshops, with an average of 550 attendees per year. The 2014-2015 academic year began on 14 October with a workshop entitled "The Secrets of the Digital Business", attended by 70 professionals from the sector.
